A sample of hexane (C6H14) has a mass of 0.580 g. The sample is burned in a bomb calorimeter that has a mass of 1.900 kg and a s

pecific heat of 3.21 J/giK. What amount of heat is produced during the combustion of hexane if the temperature of the calorimeter increases by 4.542 K?

We first calculate the heat released:
Specific heat = 3.21 kJ/kgK
Heat released = heat absorbed by calorimeter
Heat absorbed = mcΔT
= 1.9 x 3.21 x 4.542
= 27.7 kJ

Now, we calculate the moles of hexane present:
Moles = mass / Mr
moles = 0.58 / (12 x 6 + 14)
= 0.0067

Heat of combustion = 27.7 / 0.0067 kJ/mol

ΔH(combustion) = 4,134.3 kJ / mol

How many kilocalories of heat are released when 75 g of steam at 100 degrees Celsius is converted to ice at 0 degrees Celsius?
VikaD [51]

Answer:

∴ Q = -7.52kCal

Explanation:

Using the formula for specific heat capacity:

Q = mcΔT

where ΔT = change in temperature (final - initial)  = (0 - 100)°C = -100°C

m = mass (g) = 75g

c = specific heat capacity = 4.2 J/g°C in water

⇒ Q = 75 × 4.2 × -100

= -31,500J

But 1J - 0.000239kCal

<u>∴ Q = -7.52kCal</u>

I’m very confused on how to solve this
Bond [772]
Recall that density is Mass/Volume. We are given the mL of liquid which is volume so all we need is mass now. We are given the mass of the granulated cylinder both with and without the liquid, so if we subtract them, we can get the mass of the liquid by itself. So, 136.08-105.56= 30.52g. This is the mass of the liquid. We now have all we need to find the density. So, let’s plug these into the density formula. 30.52g/45.4mL= 0.672 g/mL. This is our final answer since the problem requests the answer in g/mL, but be careful, because some problems in the future may ask for g/L requiring unit conversions. Also note that 30.52 was 4 sigfigs and 45.4 was 3 sigfigs, and so dividing them required an answer that was 3 sigfigs as well, hence why the answer is in the thousandths place
